13 Cute Rain Boots For A Sunny Disposition

No matter the time of year, or where you are in the world, you're guaranteed to need some stylish rain boots in your life to help you through wet weather. Unintentionally getting drenched in the rain sucks, especially if you're on your way to work, college, or someplace important and you have to sit for a prolonged period in your dripping wet clothes. FYI, wet socks are the worst.

In reality, we can't all be Rihanna, who somehow flaunted a leather-look bodysuit and black pointe shoes in "Umbrella" regardless of the weather — however sad that truth bomb might make us feel. But although you probably don't feel like gleefully running outside whistling Bambi's "Little April Showers," or tap dancing down the street in the next downpour you get caught in, there are ways to make your dull day a little more pleasant. As a British gal growing up and currently living in England, I'd like to think I've nailed rainy day wear.

Believe me, it's not all doom and gloom: You can rock a wonderful pair of Wellington boots, because your tootsies are tired of being damp and miserable.
